About Me

Hello! I’m a sophomore at Swarthmore College, intending to double major in mathematics and music.

Mathematical Interests

I’m interested in any and all mathematics, but I’m partial to categorical methods of understanding things. For this reason, I especially enjoy homological algebra, algebraic topology, and homotopy theory. Recently I’ve become interested in how geometric/topological methods can be applied to non-geometric objects, such as in the analogy between knots and primes.

I am also very passionate about mathematics education. For the 2023/24 school year, I taught the advanced math class at the Jewish Middle School of Nashville. I was also a counselor at the 2025 PROMYS summer program (where I was a student in 2023 and 2024). Both experiences were life-changing, and I’m always looking for opportunities to share my excitement about math with others.

Musical Interests

I’ve played the cello for about sixteen years, and I particularly enjoy Baroque music and counterpoint. My favorite composers are Bach, Dvořák, and Shostakovich. I also have several years of vocal training, primarily in Ashkenazi Jewish liturgical music, although I have an ongoing interest in Mizrahi traditions as well.

Other Passions

• I am an avid basketball player and fan.
• Reading! I primarily read non-fiction, although I also love fantasy novels with interesting magic systems. My favorite author is, by far, Brandon Sanderson.
• Family and loved ones are very important to me. I have two younger brothers, and a girlfriend with whom I’ve been with for three years.
